    Pull networking update from David Miller:
     "A couple weeks of bug fixing in there.  The largest chunk is all the
      broken crap Amerigo Wang found in the netpoll layer."
    
     1) netpoll and it's users has several serious bugs:
        a) uses GFP_KERNEL with locks held

     2) Hopefully cure the ipv4 mapped ipv6 address TCP early demux bugs for
        good, from Neal Cardwell.
    
     3) Unlike AF_UNIX, AF_PACKET sockets don't set a default credentials
        when the user doesn't specify one explicitly during sendmsg().
        Instead we attach an empty (zero) SCM credential block which is
        definitely not what we want.  Fix from Eric Dumazet.
    
     4) IPv6 illegally invokes netdevice notifiers with RCU lock held, fix
